How to intervene

• What should young people do if they witness an act of bullying?


• Ask yourself, “Is it my job to help?” Think about how you might feel if the bullying were happening to you.


• Don’t just stand there. Say something.


• If you feel safe, tell the person to stop the bullying behavior. Say you don’t like it, and it isn’t funny.


• Don’t be a bystander. If other students laugh or join in, let them know they’re not helping.


• If you don’t feel safe confronting the bully, say something kind to the child who was bullied. Be a friend.


• Don’t bully back. It won’t help and could make things worse.


• Tell an adult—a teacher, school counselor, school nurse or principal. Take a friend along if you need help. If you’re afraid of retaliation, ask the adult at school to help keep you safe after telling.


• Talk to your parents about bullying that you see or know about.

It's the final weekend in August: Where did our Summer go?

Most students are back to school or college. It's been a busy Summer for many. We have celebrated two years, since the Flood of 2008 in our community. Some neighbors are still on that road to recovery or simply still struggling.

Prep Football begins this weekend. Autumn will soon be upon us, as we celebrate Labor Day next weekend.

As we move towards the changing of another season, we will be one step closer to our 2011 Dr. Martin Luther King Day Celebration Event at St. Paul's UMC.

Have a safe and enjoyable weekend everyone!
